Has sponsored or supported measures that protect nonprofits from unfair tax liabilities and has pushed for redirecting public funds toward services for working-class communities.

Healthcare

Antonio Reynoso has prioritized expanding and funding public health services in Brooklyn, directing significant capital to NYC Health + Hospitals and initiatives focused on maternal and women’s health, infrastructure upgrades, and community health centers. His actions emphasize strengthening public hospitals and increasing access to care through targeted local investments rather than proposing federal-level privatization or single-payer replacement.

Immigration & Border

Advocates for implementing New York State climate laws and expanding clean‑energy programs for Brooklyn communities.

Public Safety & Guns

Supports removing illegal guns from Brooklyn streets, addressing the flow of guns into the city, and investing in upstream solutions (mental health and social services) alongside public-safety measures rather than relying solely on more policing. Emphasizes both immediate public-safety actions to take guns off the street and longer-term investments to address root causes of gun violence.

Last updatedJul 15, 2026

Antonio Reynoso is in the news because he ran in the Democratic primary for New York’s 7th Congressional District and lost to Claire Valdez. Results reported on June 23 and 24 showed Valdez ahead and the race was called for her, though final certification was still pending. Reynoso had campaigned on a Puerto Rico-focused platform and won an endorsement from outgoing Rep. Nydia Velázquez, but Valdez also had strong backing, including from Zohran Mamdani.
